NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein have been included. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. Results for the three months ended November 30, 2020 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2021.
The full impact on the Company’s business and results of operations related to COVID-19 depends on future developments and cannot be fully predicted. The Company has considered all information available as of the date of these financial statements and is not aware of any circumstances that would result in an update to its estimates or judgments, or any adjustment to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Estimates are dependent on certain events and may change as future events occur or additional information becomes available and thus actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments.
2. Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
The Company regularly sells designated pools of high credit quality trade accounts receivable under uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse. As these accounts receivable are sold without recourse, the Company does not retain the associated risks following the transfer of such accounts receivable to the respective financial institutions. The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs. Servicing fees related to each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.
Transfers of the receivables under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following is a summary of the trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions where the Company may elect to sell receivables and the unaffiliated financial institution may elect to purchase, at a discount, on an ongoing basis:

(1)As of November 30, 2020, the Company has $3.8 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility under the five-year unsecured credit facility entered into on January 22, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”) acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper outstanding, if any. The Company has a borrowing capacity of up to $1.8 billion under its commercial paper program.
Debt Covenants
Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, effect mergers and certain transactions, and effect certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the revolving credit facilities and the 4.900% Senior Notes contain debt leverage and interest coverage covenants. The Company is also subject to certain covenants requiring the Company to offer to repurchase the 4.700%, 4.900%, 3.950%, 3.600% or 3.000% Senior Notes upon a change of control. As of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
Fair Value
Refer to Note 16 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the estimated fair values of the Company’s notes payable and long-term debt.
5. Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under its foreign asset-backed securitization program and its North American asset-backed securitization program to special purpose entities, which in turn sell certain of the receivables under the foreign program to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution and certain of the receivables under the North American program to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis.
The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the asset-backed securitization programs. Servicing fees related to each of the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.
Transfers of the receivables under the asset-backed securitization programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the asset-backed securitization programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company is
deemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entity associated with the foreign asset-backed securitization program is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of November 30, 2020, the special purpose entity has liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company (primary beneficiary). The liabilities cannot exceed the maximum amount of net cash proceeds under the foreign asset-backed securitization program.
The foreign asset-backed securitization program contains a guarantee of payment by the special purpose entity, in an amount approximately equal to the net cash proceeds under the program. No liability has been recorded for obligations under the guarantee as of November 30, 2020.
The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the North American asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of November 30, 2020.
Following is a summary of the asset-backed securitization programs and key terms:

8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $1.0 billion and $355.2 million as of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between December 1, 2020 and November 30, 2021.
In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts as of November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, was $3.5 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.
Refer to Note 16 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the fair values and classification of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense, which are the same line items in which the hedged items are recorded.
The following table presents the gains from forward contracts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges
The following table presents the interest rate swaps outstanding as of November 30, 2020, which have been designated as hedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges:

(1)The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at the expiration date for the forward interest rate swap.
(2)If the anticipated debt issuance occurs before July 31, 2024, the contracts will be terminated simultaneously with the debt issuance.
Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 3.000% Notes in July 2020, the Company amended interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $200.0 million, with mandatory termination dates from August 15, 2020 to February 15, 2022 (the “2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps”). In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to offset future exposures of fluctuations in the fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps (the “Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps”).

On October 15, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the proposed 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan will replace the Company’s 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, which terminated on October 21, 2020. The proposed 2021 Plan will be voted on during the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on January 21, 2021.
Restricted Stock Units
Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”). The time-based restricted stock units generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. During both the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company awarded approximately 1.1 million time-based restricted stock units, 0.3 million performance-based restricted stock units and 0.3 million market-based restricted stock units, respectively.

(1)In September 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $600.0 million of the Company’s common stock as part of a two-year capital allocation framework (the “2020 Share Repurchase Program”). As of November 30, 2020, 7.5 million shares had been repurchased for $263.9 million and $336.1 million remains available under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program.
11. Concentration of Risk and Segment Data
Concentration of Risk
Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. During the three months ended November 30, 2020, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 50% of its net revenue and 68 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. Sales to these customers were reported in the Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”) operating segments.
The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source.
Segment Data
Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment income does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration charges, impairment on securities, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, restructuring of securities loss, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense (excluding certain components of net periodic benefit cost), interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties.
As of September 1, 2020, certain customers have been realigned within the Company’s operating segments. As there have been no changes to how the Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses operating performance and allocates resources, the Company’s operating segments which are the reporting segments continue to consist of the DMS and EMS segments. Customers within the automotive and transportation and smart home and appliances industries are now presented within the DMS segment. Prior period disclosures are restated to reflect the realignment.

Except for asset write-off costs, all restructuring, severance and related charges are cash costs.
2020 Restructuring Plan
On September 20, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s global capacity support infrastructure, particularly in the Company’s mobility footprint in China, in order to optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions and capacity realignment (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The 2020 Restructuring Plan reflects the Company’s intention only and restructuring decisions, and the timing of such decisions, at certain locations are still subject to consultation with the Company’s employees and their representatives.
Upon completion of the 2020 Restructuring Plan, the Company expects to recognize approximately $85.0 million in restructuring and other related costs. The Company incurred $76.9 million of costs during fiscal year 2020 and anticipates incurring the remaining costs during fiscal year 2021 for employee severance and benefit costs, asset write-off costs, and other related costs.

The effective income tax rate decreased for the three months ended November 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2019, primarily due to increased income for the three months ended November 30, 2020, driven in part by decreased restructuring charges in tax jurisdictions with minimal related income tax benefit.
The effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% during the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily due to: (i) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances and (ii) tax incentives granted to sites in Brazil, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
14. Earnings Per Share and Dividends
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock units and dilutive stock appreciation rights.
Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered dilutive when the related performance criteria
have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands):

15. Business Acquisitions
During fiscal year 2018, the Company and Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) entered into a Framework Agreement to form a strategic collaboration and expand its existing relationship. The strategic collaboration expands the Company’s medical device manufacturing portfolio, diversification and capabilities.
On October 26, 2020, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company completed the fourth closing of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid for the fourth closing was approximately $18.4 million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on conditions within the Framework Agreement. Total assets acquired of $30.6 million and total liabilities assumed of $12.2 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
The acquisition of the JJMD assets was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is currently evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to the fourth closing. The preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during the measurement period for assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax adjustments. The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on October 26, 2020 for the fourth closing. The Company believes it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisition of the JJMD assets.

(1)Consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.
(2)The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers.
(3)Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads.
(4)The 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps are considered a hybrid instrument and the Company elected the fair value option for reporting. Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the contract and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

(1)The fair value of assets held for sale exceeds the carrying value for $30.1 million of assets held for sale. For $36.1 million of assets held for sale, the carrying value approximates the fair value with the asset value measured using Level 2 inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loans approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.
Notes payable and long-term debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair values of notes payable and long-term debt for disclosure purposes. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's notes payable and long-term debt, by hierarchy level as of the periods indicated:

17. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
18. New Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
During fiscal year 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Recently issued accounting guidance is not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to the Company.
